The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 242: The confrontation of the century (8/107)

In the golden age of sports, the Celtics-Lakers confrontation was the most iconic confrontation of the time.

Especially in the United States, the significance of the Lake Kay showdown has gone beyond the game. The rivalry captured the nation's attention through a multi-layered subplot, headlined by the famous and highly anticipated Bird vs Johnson duel.

Also, the game took place during the Reagan era. The more conservative president is accompanied by two important labels. One was the bullet that didn't kill him—the reason for this was particularly absurd and nonsensical. If you think it's outrageous that a modern fangirl would spend thousands of dollars to make a list for her brother, if you think it's unbelievable for those brainless fans who follow no matter what the master does, if you don't care about those gangsters If you feel uncomfortable with all kinds of unthinkable, filthy, and extremely vicious swear words on the Internet, you should check this out.

A teenager named John Hinckley fell madly in love with the heroine Jodie Foster after watching "Taxi Driver". With an extreme personality, thinking of the plot in the movie, he decided to follow Travis (the character in the play) to assassinate the President (1), to prove himself to Jodie Foster and to allow Jodie to successfully pay attention to his existence. .

There will never be another fandom's NT behavior that can compare to him.

He almost succeeded.

The shooting became a permanent label on Reagan. Another label is that he is conservative and extremely conservative. It is the resurgence of "freedom and liberation" in the 1970s. Just as the Aoguanhai era laid the foundation for the "political correctness" that can be seen everywhere in the future of the United States, he called Maga. The understanding Wang broke through the wall.

The constrained liberals of the Reagan era saw the 1984 NBA Finals as a fierce revolt against the president's conservative rule.

Against the president, various forces secretly contributed to the flames, and the two superstars with different skin colors attacked each other as two poles, so that the fans felt the depression before the game.

Wilkins kept dunking beautiful balls, and if he did the same in the dunk contest, he might have made it to the finals.

Louie, 24, walked up to Pat Riley, 39.

"Sure enough, we met here, Coach Riley." Louie noticed that Riley's oily head was reflective, like Michael Corleone from "The Godfather".

The difference is that Riley's height saves him from having to choose petite actors to play like Al Pacino.

Riley said lightly: "Coach Lu, great teams always need great opponents. I think the 72-win Celtics are the best background for the Lakers."

He let out a harsh word, but Louis didn't choke back.

Just turned around and walked back, and glanced at Auerbach and the boss Gaston in the stands.

The Celtics' key personnel have all come to the scene, and the fans' emotions are so high that as long as the Lakers have the ball, they will boo all over the field.

In order to ensure that there are no accidents in the game, the league arranged three referees in the game.

Officials have found that only by placing three referees on the field can the referees control 90% of the field. The two referees have too narrow line of sight and have limitations. King, don't care.

Judging from this adjustment, the three referees are actually weakening the Celtics.

Louie didn't respond to Riley's trash talk, but shook hands with the referee tonight.

Referee Jake O'Donnell, deputy referee Hugh Evans, and third referee Paul Mihazak (Paul).

The three referees are all old men in the league. The older ones, like O'Donnell and Mihazak, were both in the 1960s. The only black referee in the field, Evans, also joined in the 1970s.

Louie held their hands as if he were greeting relatives.

O'Donnell said proudly: "LittleLu, don't please us, let's do our part."

"I'm looking forward to a lenient game," Louie said whimsically.

Evans smiled and said, "The penalty is loose? Then you guys are still in the sky?"

"You are all old people in the league. Don't you miss the old game where bleeding was considered a foul? That's the basketball game, and the game is too soft now."

Believe it or not, every generation suffers from the syndrome of "the current XX sucks, the past is the best".

Louie once heard an 80-year-old fan tell him that George McCann was the best ever.

The expressions of the referees changed slightly, but they did not respond to Louis's words.

Louie believes that in their subconscious, he also hopes that the Celtics and the Lakers will have a real man battle.

Don't you want to continue history? Let's continue the 60's rivalry.

On the other hand, CBS and the nascent television network ESPN are both preparing to broadcast the game live.

CBS is undoubtedly more influential. They invited Tom Heinsohn, who is not a little bit of a green star, as a guest.

Dick Stockton came up and asked, "Tom, what do you think the odds are tonight?"

"Before I came, Reed told me that LittleLu was 100% sure of winning this game." Heinsohn smiled, as if mocking Louie's arrogance, "What I want to say is, When a coach who's 83-11 (counting the playoffs) says something like that, all you can do is trust him."

Stockton asked with a smile: "So, what can the Lakers do to make LittleLu's abacus fail?"

"Let's see if Karim can get 100 points in the garden!" Heinsohn joked.

Counting on 37-year-old Abdul-Jabbar to score 100 points in the garden, it is better to expect Magic to score 50+20+20.

Tonight, the starting lineup for both sides has been adjusted.

Louie put the more mobile Maxwell in the starting four and had Sampson speak directly to Abdul-Jabbar.

The Lakers' starting lineup is more aggressive: Magic, Dennis Johnson, Michael Cooper, Kurt Rambis, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

They sat off the court with a lineup that could take the other team to the playoffs: Kupchak, Byron Scott, Wilkins, Wilkes, Bob McAdoo .

The Lakers are stronger than the Celtics in terms of lineup depth.

Next, the jump ball in Game 1 of the 1984 Finals, Sampson and Abdul-Jabbar both captured the perfect timing, and the young man was even better.

Sampson points the ball to Maxwell.

Maxwell immediately took the ball to the basket, 2-0.

"Cedric Maxwell, who was in the starting roster, proved his worth right off the bat, which is why LittleLu started him!"

Louis stood on the sidelines and stretched out his hand and said, "The offense feels good, but don't forget why I let you start."

"Never forget." Maxwell patted Louie's hand back on defense.

For fans, how to understand a game? The simplest and most direct is to observe the matchup situation on the court.

The game of basketball is not a simple game of my small forward versus your small forward and my center versus your center.

Louis put a lot of thought into the matchup.

Sampson against Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bird against Rambis, Maxwell against Magic, John Lang against Cooper, Isiah Thomas against Johnson.

It can be seen that, except for the center and the point guard, the other three positions, all of Louis have taken a dislocation match. The poor defense of the overall lineup is the weakness of the Celtics. The overall lineup has a strong offensive and a physical advantage, which is the strength of the Lakers.

So Louie wants to put Maxwell in the starting lineup to increase mobility and dislocate them.

Maxwell's first wave of defense against Magic will determine whether the Lakers are ShowTime or UglyTime tonight.

Unexpectedly, Magic saw Abdul-Jabbar dislocated and touched Bird just after half court.

At that point, the Celtics only had one player close to the penalty area, and he didn't fall into position at all. As long as the ball was sent, it was a perfect dislocation.

The magician decisively pushed a half-court pass of Qigong wave with one hand.

This is really the reality of Heizi Tetsuya's magic. The difference between the magician and Kuroko, except for the base friend with colorful hair, only the brilliant special effects when he uses the qigong wave, and his ball is beautifully passed to Kareem.

Abdul-Jabbar got the ball and Bird fouled hard, but he still couldn't stop him.

"Andone!"

Abdul-Jabbar called Bird's foul with disdain on his face, and walked slowly to the free throw line to punch his teammates.

"Cedric, is that how you defend?" Louis asked in dissatisfaction.

I shouldn't have blamed Maxwell just now. No one expected that Magician would pass the ball there. It wasn't a good opportunity.

Louie yelled at Maxwell, mostly to cheer him up.

The penalty was added, and Abdul-Jabbar also entered.

3 to 2

Celtics' offensive round, UU reading www.uukanshu.com 1-4 high offensive formation.

The Lakers' defensive matchup is also good. They let Abdul-Jabbar sit at the center. If Sampson wants to shoot outside, he will rely on his teammates' mobility to follow him. He won't come out anyway. Bird's high ball is Rambis' matchup, and Cooper will help defend on the perimeter.

Their defense, the core theme, is nothing more than the word rotation.

The mobility of the other four positions makes up for the lack of movement ability of the center.

But to do so, it is unavoidable to leave the opponent open.

When Sampson came to the free throw line for Bird to pick and roll, the Lakers were blinded.

Bird used Sampson's pick-and-roll and shot in front of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, but he couldn't prevent it anyway.
